Through the Wilderness

Friday, January 26, 2007

My walk in the desert continues.

There is a dryness yet there is hope. It is not that I have lost God or that God has abandoned me. It is just that I miss the feeling of euphoria (not quite the correct word, but it'll do for now) that I felt upon my return from my pilgrimage. I am consciously aware that one cannot have that 'burning bush' experience all the time. I am also consciously aware that such an experience should not be the ONE goal of one's faith journey; that such an experience is granted by God and not 'found' by man. Still, I long for these 'high points' in my journey even though I know that I will traverse the high roads, the low roads, the flat plains and the deserts.

Today's readings gives me hope even as I walk the desert of my soul.

Trust in the LORD and do good that you may dwell in the land and live secure.
Find your delight in the LORD who will give you your heart's desire.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust that God will act
And make your integrity shine like the dawn, your vindication like noonday.
Those whose steps are guided by the LORD; whose way God approves,
May stumble, but they will never fall, for the LORD holds their hand.
The salvation of the just is from the LORD, their refuge in time of distress.
The LORD helps and rescues them, rescues and saves them from the wicked, because in God they take refuge.
Psalms 37,3-4.5-6.23-24.39-40.
